JUSTICE FIELD and hts associates OF
the United States Court at San Fran
cisco may have rendered proper de-
cision in the Stanford matter, says the
Chicago Herald. 1t was their duty to
apply the rule, and the rule seems to
be what they stated, namely, that the
commission had no more judicial
power than its creator, the National
Legislature, and was not entitled to
the aid of courts in compelling answers
from contumacious witness, especially
so when these answers might criminate
the witness. If Congress is in earnest
it will have to proceed against the de-
lnquent aided railways in different
associates have a duty to discharge
upon the bench they are under moral
obligation of discreet and seemly per-
sonal conduct. They ought so to bear
themselves that popular respect for
the bench would suffer no detriment.
It was not merely indiscreet, it was
scandalous, that after having rendered
a decision which lifted Stanford out of
a predicament Judge Sawyer should
Immediately become the host of Stan
ford and other Pacific Railroad officials

Field and Judge Hoffman. The re-
port seems almost incredible. But the

coast is phenomenal

A Valuable Deposit of CLAIMS Dis

They have discovered a clam mine at Fps

are arresting all outsiders who trespass on the
diggings. The towns of Ipswich and Essex
both lay claim to the river flats, which.
it has been discovered, are ricn with juicy,
white-shelled fruit. No clam diggingS
were ever known here like these. The CLANS
in number, size, and quality surpass any
thing ever seen here before. They lie so
thickly packed together in the mud and are
so easily gathered that even green hand at
clam digging can easily earn 81 per day at
the work.
The value of the bed is estimated at $780,
900, and a chance to labor in this vicinity is
a coveted prize. The people of Ipswich claim
they caused the arrest of two Essex clam
diggers for trespass. The Essex people retail
lated by arresting William and Frank Jewett

CONSTITUTION OF 1902.


Under the Constitution Of 1902 the judicial power
Of the state both to matters OF Law and equity,
was vested in q Supreme Court, in Court Of Common
Pleas for each county in Justices of the Peace and
in such other courts as the legislature might estab
lish. ''sueh other courts" were never established
in this section of the State.
The Supreme Court consisted OF three judges
two of whom formed quorum. 1t had original
and appellate Jurisdiction, both in Law and chsu-
Gerry, In such cases the legislature might direct
and which would be beyond the province OF this
chapter to enumerate. The legislature was EN-.
powered to rdd another judge to the number after
i've years, and in that event the Judges were au.
thorzed to divide the State iuto two circuits with
in whichiany two could hold court.
The Courts Of Common Pleas consisted of a pres-
ident aud two s'soclats judges The State was re.
quired by law to be divide into three circuits with
president judge for each circuit, aud not 'more
than three nor less than two associate Judges for
each county. Any three of these judges constituted
quorum and composed the Court Of Common
Pleas, and had common law and chaneery jurisdic.
On, and also jurisdiction of all probate I'd testa-
mentary matters aad Of guardians and minors, and
of criminal cases. Clerks were appointed by the
ferred the legislature to increase the number Of
circuits and ofthe president judges after the expr-
ton of Ave years. The Supreme Court was requir-
ed to be held once year in each county.
All judges were appointed by joint ballot of
both houses Of the general assembly, and held Office
for the term Of seven years, ''if SO long they be-
haved WE'LL"
Justices of the Peace were elected 10 each town

tB Whatever may have been the local diff
ferences among Democrats in the several
States there is one thing certain; there is no
hating or hesitation in their endorsement of
the administration. This is so tersely ex-
pressed in the resolutions adopted at the late
Pennsylvania Democratic Convention, that
we give the one relating to the administra-
ton in full, below:
We fully indorse the administration Of
President Cleveland as wise, sagacious and
patriotic; he has restored confidence to the
business interests of the country, in the
Democratic party; has directed the financial
affairs of the government with apt ability,
has strengthened the public credit and there
by given us period Of industrial and COM
mercial prospeity. The apprehension in the
minds Of some that the advent of our party
to the. control of the Federal government
would be dangerous, has been dispelled. Our
people are more contented and well to do
than in years and more respected than ever
by other nations. His period of admins
tration has been pure, economical and fear
less, and meets the approval of all fair mind
ed and conservative citizens. el.'

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications as they can not reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional reme
dies. Deafness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucus lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inaamed, you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when 1t is entirely closed
Deafness is the result and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh which
is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucus
surfaces
